What is SIP and how does it work?

SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a method of investing a fixed sum regularly. For your target amount of ₹1.00 Crore, it buys mutual fund units at different NAVs, averaging your cost over time.

What is the minimum SIP amount in India?

Most mutual fund houses in India allow SIPs starting from ₹500 per month. Some funds allow as little as ₹100. There is no upper limit, making it accessible for everyone from students to high-net-worth individuals.

Can I stop my SIP during a market crash?

Mathematically, a market crash is the best time to continue your SIP. Since NAVs are low, your fixed SIP amount buys significantly more units. Stopping during a crash is a common mistake that destroys long-term wealth creation potential. Discipline during downturns is what separates successful investors.

Is it better to do a SIP on the 1st or 15th of the month?

Historically, there is no 'perfect' date for a SIP. The difference in returns over a 10-year period is negligible. The best date is usually 1-3 days after your salary is credited to ensure you pay yourself first before other expenses.

What is the 15-15-15 rule of SIP?

The 15-15-15 rule states that a monthly SIP of ₹15,000 for 15 years at an expected return of 15% will result in a corpus of approximately ₹1 Crore. This illustrates how time and consistency work together to create massive wealth.

Is SIP return calculated on simple or compound interest?

SIP returns use compound interest. Specifically, it uses the geometric mean for monthly rates to ensure that one year of monthly compounding exactly equals the quoted annual rate. This 'power of compounding' is why starting early can significantly multiply your final corpus.

⚠️ Disclaimer

Calculations are estimates based on standard monthly compounding. Actual returns may vary based on market performance and fund selection.
